CAsTRO's OPINION.

Hector d. Castro, vice-president OF
the Commercial Cable Company, said
to-day to a reporter that his company
had decided to wait two weeks longer
for the other companies to act, and if
at that time, or say by the close OF the
month, the opposition lines fail to re-
store the rate to 40 cents then the
Commercial Company will drop to II
cents per word. This may cause the
others to reduce to 6 cents, and in
such an event cable war will become
very disastrous. "The cable companies
are not making any profit" said De-
Castro" and most of them become
weary of doing business for fun. Our
company is ready to agree upon 40
cent rate, which is conceded to be
about the fair thing, but of course il
our competitors reduce the present
rates further we will go with them,
and we can stand it as long as they
can"

IRON AND STEEL.

American Association.
PHILADELPHIA, August 10.-A bulle-
tin OF the American Iron and Steel
Association, in commenting on the
statement of the imports and exports
of the United States for the fiscal
year 1887, ended on the 30th of June
last, says:
"The figures relating to our export
of iron and steel have never been ex-
ceeded in magnitude, except in the
fiscal year of 1880. The total imports
in 1887 were nearly 1900, 900 tons
greater than in 1885 and 1886. In
1887 we imported 1,524,604 gross
tons, against LAS, ,94l tons in 1885
and 1886. Our imports of iron ore in
1887 were also larger than in both
1885 and 1886, amounting in 1885 to
1,141,774 gross tons, against 1,127 ,ll9
tons in 1885 and 1886.
VALUE OF THE IMPORTS.
The foreign value of the above inn
ports in the fiscal year 1887 amounts
to $40, ,25l ,5S5, but to this foreign cost
must be added the cost of freight and
insurance, duties and brokers profits,
making probable addition of so per
cent. to the above figures.
ALL NOT INCLUDED.
1t must be noted too that the figure
we give does not include the export OF
machinery, firearms and steel statues
which if given would very considera-
bly, increase our last years contribu-
ton to the iron and steel manufac-
turers OF Great Britain and the conti-

IRE Ninth Ward Tragedy.

Ths tragedy enacted In the Ninth
vard LAST Saturday morning has 10
parallel In the history OF our city. The
asrdsf OF . loving wife and Affection
ass SON BY the husband and father, In
cold blood, cannot be accounted for
only BY the supposition that he was
slthse crszed by drinking intoxicatins
liquor or Was insane through the CON-
tsapiation OF the privations which re-
sult trom enfor sed idleness. Taking
sAthsr view OF the case 1t 10 rather un-
fortanats that the murderer did not
md his own life by the bullet which he
aaned ct his head. The State would
shsn have been spared the necessity by
. prolonged trial, and the discussion BY
oar people Of the expediency OF hanging
suoh Q msnster by the neck until be
Wns dad would have been avoided. II
d fortunate that our citizens are law
All ding, or he would soon have expi-
aksd his foul deed on gAilovs specially
uoaseructed for his benefit. It 10 right
aaA proper that the Law should take Its
oHns-thss the escutcheon OF the State
should not be tArnished By mob vio-
lance or indiscrimina.e slaughter.
Hnaan life should be esteemed as
sared, and only 10 be taken In ascord.
aaoe With the statutes made for the
prsvsnsion OF crime and the protection
n( society. Every citizen should feel
that punishment will surely and
speedily follow the commission Of mur.
dm, no matter on what ground 1t may
have bean perpesrAted. Tho killing OF
. person BY any one cannot be excused
upon any pretexs save that OF self de-
fense, and In that case such killing
docs not constitute murder. We dc
not, however, clamor for the putting ol
any one TO death. In fact, We are
rather opposed than Otherwise to cApl-
tAi punishment. We are nevertheless!
In favor OF that degree OF Punishmen
which will deter men from the COM
mission OF crime and insure the sat 3!
Of society.

by letting no guilty one escape
